Description |
|---|---|
|
LocalIndex |
Identifies the protocol distribution an entry is part of, as well as the particular protocol that it represents. |
|
Pkts |
Shows the number of packets without errors received for this protocol type. This value is the number of link-layer packets so a single, fragmented network-layer packet can increment the counter several times. |
|
Octets |
Shows the number of octets in packets received for this protocol type since it was added to the table. This value does not include octets in packets that contained errors. This value counts octets in the entire packet that contained the protocol, not just the particular protocol frames. |
